Our speaker, Kate Wooding, and her husband lived for a number of years in a rural area of Uganda where they ran Kiwoko Hospital, which doubled in size over the six years they were there. With sponsorship from CMS they will be returning with their children to Uganda in August, this time to the capital, Kampala.
